A man was stabbed at a west London park near a playground.

Families were cleared from Heston Park in Hounslow, west London after a knife attack in front of the eyes of several children on Saturday (September 7) at about 5.40pm.

A man, 21, was rushed to hospital by the London Ambulance Service and the first paramedic arrived in less than six minutes.

His injuries were found to be not life-threatening, but potentially life-changing.

A crime scene remains in place at the park and a knife was recovered at the scene.

One video, which shows explicit content won’t be shared in this story, shows an air ambulance at the park while paramedics treat the man right by the playground gates.

Children inside the play area were told they have to leave as parents escorted their kids away.

No arrests have been made at this time, but police enquiries continue.
